There is probably not a single driver who would not dream of significantly saving fuel for his car.
Of course, there can be no magical methods here, so no one will be able to drive without consuming any fuel at all.
And even 50% savings would be out of the realm of fantasy. But to some extent, it is still possible to save fuel. Today we will look at five ways to save this kind of money. So…
Drag coefficient
It's pretty simple. All you need to do is reduce the drag coefficient, or Cx. That is, your car should be as streamlined as possible. In other words, the more it looks like a cucumber, the better.
Receiving minimal resistance from the oncoming air flow, the car, of course, will expend less effort on movement and, accordingly, fuel consumption will be less.
The right choice of tires
It has never been a secret: some tires contribute to higher fuel consumption, while others, on the contrary, save fuel.
Optimally selected tires can save up to half a liter of gasoline when driving 100 kilometers, which is quite impressive. When choosing tires, focus on the tests that are published in the most advanced auto publications.
Avoid large diameter wheels
Yes, with them the car looks more stylish and generally more interesting, but for such pleasure you will have to pay with serious excess fuel consumption. Among experienced drivers there is an opinion that adding just a centimeter to the wheel diameter adds a whole liter to the consumption per 100 km.
Optimal tire pressure
Try to maintain the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. If the pressure in your tires is too low, you will have to visit the gas station more often.
But don't go to the other extreme - don't overinflate your tires. Yes, with the tightest tires possible, fuel consumption will be significantly reduced, but your health, and even your life, will be exposed to a certain risk, which we won't talk about now.
ONE HUNDRED
The most straightforward. Regularly send your car to a service station for diagnostics of malfunctions. After all, they can invisibly cause excessive fuel consumption. Let your car be healthy!
